The Chiseler's Lament

My money is spent, on drink and good times
I'm looking for help from my Chum
I see that you ere drinking and having your fill
Today I can't help you, but sometime I will

Lest on the way, may some trouble o'er take me
Abating temptation is hard from my place
I asure you your faith is never my waste

A dinner is given and I'm ever grateful
I value your friendship I spend by the plateful
